Join me and guest, Alyssa Ages, for the second episode in a series of conversations about the athlete mindset. Alyssa is a journalist, published author, strongwoman competitor, endurance athlete, former fitness trainer, and mom to two vivacious daughters. Mindset has and continues to play a pivotal role in Alyssa's life whether its writing to meet a deadline, preparing for a strongman event, running a marathon, or raising her two daughters. Alyssa is the author of "Secrets of Giants, A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength." After experiencing a significant loss, Alyssa went from flipping monster truck tires and walking with 300 pounds on her back to barely managing to get dressed. After a long time away, when Alyssa returned to the world of lifting heavy things and found herself coming back to life she asked: What if strength isn't about how much we can lift? What if it's about how we manage life's struggles? In Secrets of Giants, Alyssa interviews strongman competitors, psychologists, researchers, and coaches who offer insights into the myriad of ways that the pursuit of strength can permeate every aspect of our lives, from building resilience and confidence, to finding joy in discomfort, to teaching us to handle adversity.

Join me and guest, Casey Lynch, for a conversation about being a touring musician, powerlifting coach, and internationally ranked competitive powerlifter. Casey started playing guitar when she was in her teens. To get a good idea about who Casey is and why she is so accomplished, adaptable, and able to pivot here's a glimpse into why - she is left-handed, but plays guitar "right handed," because all the guitars she held when learning and practicing were standard and she didn't know there was any other option. She grew up playing violin and piano and also plays bass. She went on her first month long tour when she was 18. Casey joined Witch Vomit in 2017 as second guitar and has been crushing it ever since. Around 2016, Casey started going to the gym and discovered powerlifting. When the pandemic happened and touring or playing shows at all wasn't an option, Casey dove deep into powerlifting and powerlifting competitions. Fast forward a few years and after dabbling in writing free strength training programming for friends for several months, Casey became a certified strength and conditioning coach with a background rooted in powerlifting.

Join me and Linda Franklin for a conversation about being a competitive athlete with Type 1 Diabetes.
